The wails of the crew did not stop the Arrow from turning its bow towards Captain Mark's ship.

The sailors finished their work and began to make ropes for the upcoming tugboat task under the leadership of Matt, and now none of the cables on the ship could support the weight of a longline fishing boat, and the weight of more than two hundred tons floating on the water was not fun, and only by twisting two or three cables together could it withstand the weight of such a boat.

If it is on a flat road on land, it is naturally much simpler, and it may be dragged slowly when pulled with the rope, but this sea is not as simple as on land, and the situation is much more complicated, because the waves are not controlled by the ship, and the two boats have to sway back and forth at all times, causing the force on the cable of the tugboat to fluctuate, and the rope that is made out must be able to withstand such a changing force is the key.

Matt chose two parallel anchor chains and two chemical fiber cables, and now the task of the four of them is to combine the anchor keys into two strands and hang them on the metal seat of the crane behind the arrow, because this metal seat is just connected to the keel of the ship, which belongs to the strongest place on the arrow, and only here can it safely bear the heavy weight.

"Twist it carefully, don't break this chain when a wave hits, if that's the case, then it's good-looking!" Matt reached out and tried the connecting hook that Qi Yiming had screwed and said.

Hearing Matt say this, Qi Yiming twisted the wrench in his hand twice more: "It's almost now, it's hard to twist, but it's still a little hard!" ”。

"Anyway, I look at this thing dangerously!" Matt said, glancing at the anchor chain in his hand. Although it is an anchor chain, this anchor weighs only a few hundred catties, and the weight of two or three hundred catties is more than enough, where can it be compared with the weight of a ship.

Dominic then turned to Lauren and asked, "You said it could be the ship you stayed on before?" Isn't your captain's name Mark? ”。

"Unlikely, the ship I used to work on was the Aida, Captain Marco wouldn't have come to such a north, Captain Marco likes warm seas, and to be honest, sometimes I suspect that he wants to take the Ameda to the Caribbean. Because the weather is right for him! After saying that, Lauren laughed first.

Hearing Lauren say this, Dominic didn't ask much, but concentrated on twisting the fiber rope in his hand.

"Amida indeed!" Matt overheard the conversation between the two and said to Lauren, "I heard from the captain when I went up just now!" But it seems that the captain doesn't seem to know the Ameda? ”。

Lauren was stunned for a moment and said, "The captain has only seen Marco once, and it has been almost a year, so I guess I forgot about it!" ”。

Dominic said to Lauren, "Will you feel a little embarrassed when we meet later?" ”。

"Why?" Lauren looked at Dominic and lowered her head to continue her business.

"I don't know why. That's how I felt when I met Captain Jed anyway, and I think that's what he thinks in his heart," Dominic said.

Qi Yiming smiled when he heard this: "He's embarrassed." All the time giving you so little money to do so much work."

Although Dominic's watch in the storm last time looked a little embarrassing, everyone on the ship, including Matt, the old boatman, never mentioned it, because everyone knew that they were also afraid of death, and the joke that Dominic was just fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.

To be honest, many people can say that the righteousness is awe-inspiring when there is no real face to death, but when the real death is in front of you, or when there is no life in the next few minutes, there are a few people who can keep it, and at this time most people should rebel against the mutiny. Running away is human instinct, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Of course, the four of them all felt that their captain was very good, and they didn't even frown a single frown during the whole storm, they were simply a model of fishermen, and they could be the protagonists of movies. No one thought that their captain was not afraid, but felt that it was okay at all, so he had this bearing! If you really think that someone is going to kill you, your feet will be scattered and you will hide in the space sooner than anyone else.

Dominic is very diligent in his work! This is what everyone says about this 'timid' young man! This is very important for deck sailors.

"Apprentices are like this!" Dominic smiled and said, "I came out to beg for a living when I was sixteen years old, and I have been following Captain Jed all the time, in fact, I really thank him in my heart!" After all, he taught me a lot, and I don't think much about the rest of it. Now I'm happy with my life under the captain! ”。

"Don't be a sycophant, our captain can't hear you in the bridge!" Matt said jokingly at Dominic.

Dominic smiled and didn't speak, in fact, the contradiction between Dominic and Jade had already been planted. Who would have an opinion on a crew member who has been following you for a few years and always giving someone a lower share than a normal sailor? It's good to be able to last Dominic for such a long time to change bosses.

The four of them chatted while working. It took almost half an hour to make the towing cable.

When Bei Hai arrived at the sea area reported by the Ameda, it was already more than one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the entire sea was already drizzling, let alone the ship, and he couldn't even see it clearly from thirty meters away.

Picking up the intercom, Bei Hai began to call Marco: "Marco, I'm the arrow!" Hear it, please answer! I've been near the coordinates, where are you? ”。

Bei Hai called the Ameda twice and replied: "Hello Hull, I'm Marco from the Ameda, and we're near you!" ”。

Bei Hai directly turned on the search radar, and as soon as he turned on the machine and waited for a few minutes, the radar had already shown the location of Amida, and now there was only one in the entire sea near him, and there would be no one else except the Amida.

"I've seen you. Now I'm leaning over! Attention! After Bei Hai finished speaking, he turned the rudder and leaned towards the place where Ameda was floating.

Within five or six minutes, the crew on the deck of the Arrow saw a black mass in the rain. Only a little dim light could be seen from the cockpit, and not only did the Ameda lose power, but now it seemed to be running out of power.

As the two ships got closer and closer, the sailors on the deck greeted each other. Although in the rain, many words are not clear. However, from time to time, a hi is still clearly conveyed in the question of the two boats.

When the two ships were about fifteen meters apart, Bei Hai turned the speed to the minimum, pointed his stern against the bow of the Ameda, and opened the rear porthole to listen to Matt's command on the deck.

"A little back, yes!" Matt yelled loudly as he gestured to Bei Hai.

"Hold on!" With Matt's words, Bei Hai put the joystick of the Arrow to the bottom, but did not turn off the engine, because the ship kept moving again, and it was not sure when it would move.

Matt's task now is to throw the end of his finished cable to the Ameda so that the crew of the Ameda can be tied to the bow of the ship. This is also quite simple, tie one end of the rope to the end of the cable and the other end to the floating harpoon, and then throw the harpoon to the side of the Amega, so that the Ameda's sailors can pick up the string and drag the thick cable over.

As for some people, they may say, why not just tie the floating gun to the thick cable and throw it over! Although this idea saves the effort of tying a thin rope, I believe that no one can throw a cable more than an arm's thickness near the Ameda ten meters away, even if Hercules wants to do it, it is quite difficult to estimate, not to mention that neither ship is equipped with Hercules.

First mate to first mate, that is to say, Matt to first mate on the Amida! Led by two experienced sailors, the cable was quickly passed over and secured to the bow of the Amida.

“ok!” Matt saw the gesture that the first mate of the Amida gave him, and then turned his head to Bei Hai and said loudly, meaning: I'm ready here!

"Then I'm activated!" Bei Hai said to Marco on the other end of the intercom: "I will slowly increase the speed to six knots and drag you to Burbes!" The whole process takes about forty-two hours! ”。 Sailing at sea at a speed of six knots is no different from a turtle crawling for Bei Hai, but now is not the time to be adventurous and cool, if you run up to ten knots and go up to the next wave to push Ameda a little, and then Ameda kisses the round little ass of the arrow, then you can see it!

"Okay! Thank you! Marco said gratefully.

"You're welcome!" After Bei Hai finished speaking, he slowly pushed the joystick, and then looked back at the movements of Matt's hand on the deck from time to time, and was always ready to deal with possible emergencies!

It's finally a great luck in misfortune, and the following things are going well! The Arrow dragged the black Amida like a turtle in the sea and crawled towards Bulbes, Newfoundland.

"This fishing season has been really unlucky!" Bei Hai waited for the speed of the boat to reach six knots, then set the course and set it to the automatic mode.

"Captain, we're already good, but it wouldn't be nice to transfer us to the Amega!" At this time, Matt happened to walk into the bridge and heard Bei Hai complaining, and immediately said happily.

Hearing Matt say this, Bei Hai subconsciously looked back at the black Ameda and couldn't help but observe, the current Ameda is estimated to be hugging when sleeping, because the power on the ship is insufficient and the engine is hung up, the only little power left is estimated to be only used to call and respond to emergencies, there is no heating on the ship, then the next two nights a boatload of people is estimated to be wrapped in blankets to resist.

"Don't say it, thinking about it like this, my heart is a lot happier," Bei Hai sneered and said happily. (To be continued)
